- Oh, my gosh.
So cute.
- You need to give him what he wants or else he cries?
(baby crying)
I think they'll be fine.
(upbeat music)
- I'm Lindsay
- And I'm Jazzmyne
- And this is Fast Forward
where we take on the ultimate challenge.
- Parenthood.
- In this episode,
we're gonna be sitting at a newborn for a whole day.
- I do feel confident,
but I'm honestly more nervous than I am confident.
- This is the ultimate test.
We're going to be keeping the child alive.
- We have to feed it.
- Feed it,
- (Both) change it.
- Honestly,
all I'm looking from this experience is to just feel a
little bit more confident with a Newborn.
- Same.
And I feel like
if I can like get myself in a place where like,
all right, so this is kind of like the day to day.
- Exactly.
- I'll feel like slightly more confident.
- Hi Cheska.
- Hi welcome to my nursery.
- (Lindsay) It's so cute. - (Jazzmyn) It's gorgeous.
- So we're taking care of her baby today.
- (Cheska)Yeah.
He's a happy baby. It's just,
you need to give him what he wants right away.
Or else he cries.
- Okay.
- Very loudly.
- We've never done this, ever.
How do you feel about us taking care of your only child?
- I'm more scared of like the mess
that I will walk into after.
I trust that you guys won't drop him.
- You know what I mean? - (Jazzmyne) That is,
Something that's all my mind,
like not a plan, but I'm like,
I've really got to keep this thing secure.
- I just want,
when I come back that he's not hungry and he's not overtired
and his diaper is clean. No poopy diapers.
He is a boy. So,
- Oh. - you will have to,
there's a possibility of a fountain.
- I hope that doesn't happen today.
- You guys ready to meet the baby?
- (Both) Yes! - All right, let me grab him.
- Oh my gosh.(Gasp)
- I was not expecting to feel the feelings,
that I felt through my body in that moment.
- Really?
- I thought I was going to cry.
- Say Hi!
- Oh my gosh.
- Say hi! - Hi baby!
- I feel like I'm going to cry.
- This is Xavier.
- Hi, look at your tiny limbs.
- The eyes,
- The little toes,
- The macaroni toes.
That child is so adorable.
- Oh my God.
- This is my first time holding a newborn.
- I have a list. I'm just going to grab the list.
- He's so warm.
I'm going to cry this is actually really wonderful.
- So here I made like this list for you.
So baby is crying. Is he hungry?
Yes. Feed him. Follow along.
No check diaper.
- But then she said, changing a diaper.
And I was like, I've never done that.
- I can't believe you've never done that.
- Welcome to intro to diapers with me. All right.
This is Peppa. Our volunteer,
obviously take off his clothes. It's pretty foolproof.
So this should go in the back and this go in the front.
So you just grab his, like that.
- (Lindsay) Leggies. - Leggies like this.
Apart like that, and then,
- Oh.
- Yep.
- Is this as easy as?
- It's very easy yeah.
- That's it!
- Okay, and then teach us how to wipey.
- Oh, and then when you're move, obviously just like this,
this grab.
Wipe.
- There's no certain way to wipe?
- No, just like don't like (hissing sound)
his butt hole you know what I mean, like.
Be gentle.
- Okay
- When your wiping him.
- Okay.
He's at a point where he knows how to roll.
So make sure that you're,
don't leave them for too long or like,
make sure you're ready to hold.
- Wait, all right.
Wait. I thought this was way harder.
- It's not hard.
- It's fool proof.
- So we're going to send you on a little spa day,
- Yay!
and by that we need in your backyard
because we want to make sure that your here
in case anything goes wrong.
- You'll be fine.
- Bye mommy.
You want to hold him?
- (Scared scream)
I was honestly quite nervous to hold your baby.
- Yeah.
- You know, it's a life.
and it's so baby, you know, it's just flop.
- He's smiling. I think he likes us.
(Both chanting) Dance, dance, dance, dance.
- What do we do now? What do you want?
Do we just stand here and hold him until he cries?
- It's good to take a break.
I think they're going to panic when they change the diapers.
I know it.
I think they'll be fine.
- Uh oh, here's the tears.
Oh my God. Hi. It's okay.
- Wait, where's the checklist where's the checklist?
Grab the list.
- (Both) It's okay.
- We're adults, we're adults, we can save you.
- He's hungry.
So baby's crying. Is he hungry?
Yes. Feed him.
I think we need to go feed him. We decided to go feed him,
- Yes
- which I've also never done.
All right.
- Do we have to like warm it up?
- It has to be.
- What did she say?
- Can you tell us how do you like your,
- Do you like it warm or cold?
- How do you like your milk?
Google says we warm it up.
That's a Milky milk.
I think it was 2% if I didn't know any better.
Ready? Oh my god.
- He just grabbed. - He just grabbed it.
(laughing)
- His little hands.
Feeding him was magical.
- Yeah.
I was just shocked at how good this baby was.
Okay, do we burp immediately after?
Or do you want, you do it.
- Do you want me to?
- Yeah, you do it.
- Okay.
- You want to go to mama jazz?
- He's gonna projectile.
- Yeah he might.
- Vom.
- (Both) Oh.
- I never thought of myself
of like being okay with having a newborn.
- It was so surreal watching you
hold this baby with so much confidence. And like,
I've never seen you look so maternal
in our entire friendship.
- I know.
It's almost easier for me to like be standoffish because I'm
like, I'm never going to have this, but actually liking it.
I'm like, oh.
- (Both) Baby bird, baby bird.
(Baby screams)
- He burped, I heard it in my ear.
- Was that it?
- I see a little spitty.
Oh, what's that face?
Are you pooping? Are you peeing?
Oh, he's squeezing my hand.
I think he's trying to pass something.
I actually think he's like.
peeing or pooping.
- But then we checked the diaper.
- What are we checking again?
Just the diaper?
- If he pooped.
- Okay all right, all right.
- Oh, the line is blue.
- The line is blue.
- We've heard that if the line's blue, it's full and.
- The line, she be blue.
- Maybe it's P maybe it's not poop.
- Yeah. Maybe it's P.
I was just terrified of the pee fountain.
- Oh yeah.
- That might arise. Literally.
- I was afraid of poop.
- Oh, it's P.
- Thank God.
(laughing)
- Okay.
- All yous did was pee. Oh yeah,
I have to be on P watch.
- Yes you do.
- Hi - Don't pee on us.
- How do you get it under his booty?
Lift the feet. The feet, the feet, the feet.
- Doesn't it. It attaches this material.
attaches to that.
You just want to be free!
- Okay. Oh.
Oh, it's very full.
Where do I put it?
- I think over there.
- Okay.
Does that stick like that?
Did I f*** that up? Oh shoot.
Can I curse in front of the baby?
- Don't say f***!
- I'm sorry.
Is that it? Did you, Do you like it?
Please tell me you like it.
I changed my first diaper!
We should style him now.
- Wait, let's put two in front of him
and see which one he picks.
- Okay okay okay.
I think he wants this he's reaching.
- Yeah.
- Okay he wants this one. - Okay, okay polka dots.
- I'm kind of digging this.
- I agree, but I think it might need a hat.
Oh, he loves this outfit.
He's going, he's going off in this outfit.
He wants the hat. Oh.
- You want the hat.
(Gasp)
- (Both) Oh!
- We went and played with him in the pen.
- Yeah.
You like it here or are you confused?
Uh oh, oh.
Bless you.
Oh, you see Lindsey.
- Lindsey he's flipping you off. (laughs)
- He's caressing my face.
- Are you flipping Lindsey off?
Questions me and my baby always get asked.
- And then we decided to make him into a Tik Tok star.
(laughing)
- It was perfect the first time.
(Baby cries)
- Is that a cry? Oh.
He hates being famous.
- It's okay. It's okay. Maybe you just want held.
You want just held like this? Oh yeah.
Or maybe he was just pooping and that's why he cried.
Oh, okay.
Oh you're coming for my face.
Are you chewing my? What the-?
- Wait I think he's trying to suck a boob.
- Oh maybe.
- You think he's hungry?
- You think again?
- You just fed him.
- It is time for our baby photo shoot.
- Yeah yeah yeah!
- If you wanna be in the biz, you gotta get used to it.
Being a Tik Tok star wanted some head shots.
- When I tell you he delivered.
- Delivered.
- Icon?
- Truly.
- Front page.
Then we decided to read to him. He got a finger puppet book,
many colors of beautiful butterfly.
- Say, gay rights!
- Yes grab, don't put it in your-
- (Both) No.
- He wasn't interested in the book.
He just wanted to put everything in his mouth.
- Yeah, he was not entertained whatsoever.
- I was shocked at how wonderful he was.
How adorable, how clean, happy.
- I feel like we were like over prepared
for like a wild time.
- Yes.
- And this baby was just so sweet.
- Uh oh uh oh oh, okay.
Oh, okay.
Gonna try the milk again.
(Baby cries)
- We don't need to do that.
- I'm coming!
Okay. Okay.
- Wait, go to the checklist.
- Checklist!
- Okay.
- Okay. It says,
- We fed him.
- Baby is crying. Is he hungry?
No check diaper.
- Go ahead.
(laughing)
- Okay. Okay.
Okay. Oh my God.
It's not only blue it's yellow.
- Do you think that's bad?
- I think that means he pooped.
Oh, now he's happy.
- Oh, nothing.
- Oh, okay.
Uh oh uh oh.
Oh no oh no.
Okay okay, all right we checked.
- That we changed.
- Is he hungry? No. Check diaper.
Um, uh, is he sleepy?
- Are you sleepy?
- Okay, okay.
- He looks sleepy to me.
- All right. I don't like you crying.
This isn't working!
- Like we said before, he, he did that little like,
'wah' and then would be fine.
No, this was screeching.
(Baby screaming)
- Where's the pacifier?
- Get the pacifier!
I could not even understand this pitch that was going on.
- I didn't think it was humanly possible
to get that loud in such a
tiny body.
- Truly.
Wow. The lungs.
- It's so peaceful.
This is nice.
- We were at the point where we were about to ask for help,
but I look at Jazz. She goes, no, we can do this.
- I really, yeah.
I believed us.
- After a lot of her systems. A lot of patience,
a lot of teamwork.
- Yes.
- The baby went to sleep.
- He really did.
- Cheska! - Hi!
- Oh, relaxing, mommy.
- How was your day?
- It was good. It was so nice.
You guys should babysit more often.
- I feel successful.
- I feel really good.
- You guys fed him.
He has an empty bottle and you change his diaper
and he's asleep.
- I would babysit again.
- Oh, completely.
- Yay!
- Like, it was really.
- Next week you guys are free to.
(laughing)
- Well maybe not next week, but.
I walked into this expecting the worst,
newborn stuff is so complicated.
Oh, if you hold the baby this wrong way
or like slightly wrong, like everything's horrible.
And you're a horrible mom.
So I was just like focusing on small details
that didn't matter. And at the end of the day,
you just needed to have those instincts kick in.
- Yes.
- And the instincts kicked in.
- I came into this feeling very neutral.
And by the end of it,
I walked away. Very proud of us.
We've worked well together.
I'm definitely not sure if I would ever want
like a newborn, but it was fun,
more fun than I thought it would be.
